I was involved in negotiations with unions, preparing systems and internal acts concerning the rights and obligations of employees. In the area of human resources I was involved in the project of coordinated work and family life of employees, as well as coordination of the program for employees called Triglav.smo (pronounced: Triglav-dot-smo [We are Triglav]), programme under the motto Zdravi, Zadovoljni, Zavzeti , that means achieving more healthy, happy and committed employees. During that period I was also responsible for safety and health at work and fire protection for the company of 2.400 employees and more then 300 buildings.
